Psalms 126:3, The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. It was seven years ago this May that Cassie and I left the pastorate after almost twenty two years in order to become a full time part of the ministry of Macedonia World Baptist Missions. Several of you have labored with us now for each of those seven years, and through you God has supplied our every need. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. We are honored to work with you in order that we together might reach the world with the Gospel. Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater.
Many of you have been praying for our recent software transition here at our home office. I am glad to be able to report that the new software is currently up and running. During the difficult transition not one missionary missed receiving monthly support or special offerings. This is a great testimony to the grace of God and the hours of labor performed by the office staff. Thank you MWBM office staff. To God be the glory!
Besides the labor in our office, the Lord has certainly kept us busy in missions conferences and missions emphasis Sundays. Just since our last prayer letter we have been in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Georgia. One of the joys of our lives is helping local pastors “fan the flame of world evangelism” in their churches. We certainly praise the Lord for the increases in faith promise giving that we have been blessed to see and the lives we have seen surrendered to do God’s will. One of the highlights of the quarter was seeing a young teenage boy saved during the missions conference at the Central Baptist Church of Ocala, Florida, where Dr. Andy Bloom serves as the pastor. What a meeting! What a God we serve!
It was also thrilling to recently host several new missionary families here at our home office during our two day mini orientation. There were church planters to the Middle East, Idaho, North Dakota, and Mexico here. It proved to be a productive time of training and fellowship for each missionary family. What a joy to welcome new missionaries and friends to the MWBM family! We pray daily during our devotions that God would raise up even more.
Our print shop recently finished an order of one million Gospel tracts that will be shipped to Honduras within the next few days. Some of you have graciously given to print those tracts, and others have given to ship them. Only eternity will reveal the true worth of our labor together. Thank you!
We are so excited about three special opportunities to reach out specifically to young people in a missions emphasis. MWBM just hosted the quarterly meeting of the Georgia Youth Fellowship where over one hundred teenagers were on our campus for a rally meeting. I had the opportunity to preach to them about the great need of the Gospel around the world. In June we will also host the “Reach the World Youth Conference.” We will have missionaries from around the world teaching classes and preaching to young folks who are considering giving their lives for world evangelism. Also, I will have the privilege to preach at a missions youth camp in Roanoke, Alabama. Please help us pray that the Lord will send forth laborers into his harvest from these meetings.
In closing, Cassie and I always ask our friends to pray for our own soul winning efforts. As long as God gives us breath to breathe it is our heart’s desire to be shining lights for Him. Therefore, with your help and by His grace we will continue BY FAITH.
For the sake of souls,
Dr Scott Caudill
